Well, I bought a new radiator today, and might want to upgrade my oil cooling as well. The car will be seeing some dyno time in the near future. I'll tell you guys what I'm up to after I have dyno numbers to prove how well it works.

Sorry if I slowed you guys down last weekend. I did manage to work some gremlins out and now the car is up and running well again. However, before next meet I'll do a full pre-inspection so the same thing doesn't happen.

its funny out of my 24 pics 1/3 are of 7's and they made up about 20% or less of the cars. i guess i get tired of the same old shots (8's in bunches) the 7 tends to stick out (a good thing).

thats when they were blocking us.. they were deliberatly staying side-by-side so we couldnt pass... casey was being nice, but i got pissed off and got on one of their asses forcing them out of the way... then it was smooth sailing

Hey Jesse,
Can I get your black headliner, bins, carpets, and door panels again. This time I'm for reals. Also, Do you still have that guage clust w/ the tach in it. How much? Will it work for an S4? Do the speedo and other gauges still work?
Thanks,
Damon

I think my previous hints are already pretty good, but here's a recap.

First off, I'm really excited about it.

Second, the car will be spending some time getting tuned on a dyno. I've ordered a new radiator so I can safely spend a while on the dyno, maybe even a couple different days.

Third, I'll end up with dyno results that show how much extra power my new mod will make. It should be noticeable, this mod seems to work well for other cars.

And here's another hint: even people who are familiar with cars will not be able to peek under the hood and see my new mod.

I guess I've been away for a while. So much intrigue Scotty.I think I'm going to go back and follow the clues.
Quick question?..
Is it one single "mod", one single part, or maybe several things linked together.
Damon
My guess- Is it a V8.

no way would scotty do a V-8. also he is more of a smooth low end power of a twin turbo kinda guy. not the monstorus high boost single turbo king of guy.

I would guess a stand alone (or even piggy back). bear in mind he said "tune" not much you can tune with a factory computer.

but from what I remember he has a motor letting go (water seals), so he would be getting a new engine as well. so maybe a small port job is in the mix?

he didn't want to wait for the couple of months for fabrication so he bought a v8 swap and is parting out his 7.

tRUE..tRUE.
Allright my real guess is:
Rebuilt motor and turbos, bigger intercooler, and a standalone.
At least a rebuilt motor and standalone
No piggybacks allowed on rotaries, unless you don't like them.
